Trying to find map locations of KIA relatives.

[RHimsl]

I hope someone out there can help me. I'm trying to research three relatives of mine who were all KIA on the Eastern Front. I'm having trouble finding the locations on a map where it was indicated they were KIA. I'm sure the names have changed since WWII. Here is the information I have:

Anton Himsl: KIA 7/23/43 at "Arnautzki" (Russia?)
Franz Himsl: KIA 2/21/43 at "Orel Fela. 1/582"
Karl Himsl: KIA 8/17/44 at "Stodoly" (Poland?)

Does anyone know what the present day names of these areas are or have any ideas as to the areas they were in? Any thoughts and help are greatly appreciated!!

well, the place to start would be in the areas around the cemeteries where they are buried or Karl's case commemorated.


Anton - Now. Michajlowskij / Raum Krymskaja - Ru******223;land
Franz - Orel
Karl - Siemianowice

I often use the viaMichelin maps to look for locations, it works pretty well.

The 1/582 refered to in relation to Franz sounds like a dressing station or field hospital.
